Emmanuel Forbes Could Be A Game-Changer
1 year agoWashington Commanders rookie cornerback Emmanuel Forbes was always around the ball and got his hands on numerous passes during spring practices, even intercepting a few. Forbes has impressed coaches and teammates in how he handled workouts, giving them hope that he'll be able to create big plays for the defense. The 22-year-old mostly worked on the outside with the starters, but the team also used him inside on occasion to help him read routes even better. Forbes is a skinny 166 pounds, but he showed an ability to adapt by using his quickness and length to prevent receivers and tight ends from bullying him. "He's got a great anticipation of routes," defensive backs coach Brent Vieselmeyer said. "The other thing is you watch him get in and out of breaks. He does a great job. His transition of his feet is so quick."
